IMPROVEMENT IN BRICK-MOLDS.

Specieation forming part of Letters Patent No. 119,667, dated October 3,1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUDoLrE STUcKwIscE, of Terre Haute, inthe county ofVigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in BrickeMolds; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specication.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a cap for brickmolds, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the sa-me, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure l is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a side view.

A represents a brick-mold of any suitable cony struction forbrick-machines, and B is a metallic cap for the mold. This cap is madewith open ings a little smaller than the mold for the brick, so as toreceive the clay without brushing' off the sand on the inside, therebycausing the bricks to come out more easily.

The cap is placed on the mold before putting into the machine. On beingfilled and passing through, the cap is raised and drawn across the moldto out off any extra clay that may remain, and smootphs the brick downevenly. This arrangement saves time, and all the complicated machineryrequired in the slides of briek-1na chines.

There has always been more or less difficulty nesses.
